Right Wing Radical Update

The latest prominent voice, in support of feeding Terri Schiavo:

The parents of Terri Schiavo met and prayed Tuesday with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who called her impending death "an injustice."

"I feel so passionate about this injustice being done, how unnecessary it is to deny her a feeding tube, water, not even ice to be used for her parched lips," said Jackson, who has run for president as a Democrat. "This is a moral issue and it transcends politics and family disputes."

Indeed it is, and it has been from the beginning. Those prone to basing their judgments of the bipartisan nature of this movement on evidence will believe the likes of Jesse Jackson, Tom Harkin and Mark Dayton.

Those preferring faith-based pronouncements and wishful thinking instead can listen to the Star Tribune editorial board, who believe in their souls, despite all evidence to the contrary:

... Americans should be embarrassed on [Terri Schiavo's] behalf to see Washington's right-wing radicals seize this permanently unconscious woman for a totalitarian fibfest.

If the Star Tribune and their cult of delusional partisanship happens to be correct, we heartily welcome Jesse Jackson to the right wing.
